“More original data will be created in the next two years than in all of human history,” Information Overload, Adam Pertman, Globe, 2/2001.

“The rate of growth of Internet use in the United States is currently two million new Internet users per month,” A Nation Online: How Americans Are Expanding Their Use Of The Internet,February, 2002.

“More than 70% of the workers in developed economies are information workers,” Turmoil in IT: A Brave New World, 2001.

“More than half of the nation is now online. In September 2001, 143 million Americans (about 54 percent of the population) were using the Internet — an increase of 26 million in 13 months. In September 2001, 174 million people (or 66 percent of the population) in the United States used computers,” A Nation Online: How Americans Are Expanding Their Use Of The Internet,February, 2002.

“Facilitate and coordinate the development, operation and technology transfer of advanced, network-based applicationsand network services to further U.S. leadership in researchand higher education and accelerate the availability of new services and applications on the Internet.”

SEGP GOAL: Bring together I2 institutions, K-12 schools, colleges and universities, libraries, and museums to get new technologies—advanced networking tools, applications, middleware, and content—into the hands of innovators, across all educational sectors in the United States, as quickly and as “connectedly” as possible.

2/2002: Virginia 4th - 9th grade students at 6 sites watched the Jason Project’s capstone video conference, a live I2 VC between glacial geologists at Chugach National Park, studying the history of glaciers, and wildlife biologists at the Alaska Sea Life Center investigating the Stellar sea lion’s eating patterns and how its body uses fat for energy.

Local 2-way VC at each of the 6 state sites; local experts led further discussion at each site (e.g., mountain climbers, marine biologists, etc.)

The California Digital Library (CDL) opened its public "digital doors“ 1/20/1999 by making available an integrated web gateway to digital collections, services and tools http://www.cdlib.org.

CDL charge: continue the selection, building, management, and preservation of the University's shared collections of digital resources and apply new technologies to enhance sharing of the physical collections

Current research efforts have already demonstrated that the existing commodity Internet can be an effective environment for developing digital library systems.

These efforts include the ARPA/NASA/NSF-sponsored Digital Library Programs, as well as the wide range of operational institutional library systems offering access to online catalogs, abstracting and indexing databases, and primary content, such as journals in electronic formats.

While today's operational systems suffer from reliability and performance problems as a result of shortcomings in the existing Internet, they do not call for substantially higher application-dedicated bandwidth or bandwidth reservation.

They require only that the existing Internet function smoothly and reliably within its current design parameters.

But the new services and capabilities envisioned for Internet2 offer important opportunities to move the Digital Libraries program into new areas.

Very high bandwidth and bandwidth reservation will allow currently exotic materials such as continuous digital video and audio to move from research use (such as in the Carnegie-Mellon University Digital Library Project) to much broader use.

Images, audio and video can, at least from a delivery point of view, move into the mainstream currently occupied almost exclusively by textual materials.

This will also facilitate more extensive research in the difficult problems of organizing, indexing, and providing intellectual access to these classes of materials.

Semantic Web—”An extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to
